Roast master Jeff Ross will take on Tampa

Guts will be busted and sides will be split when Jeff Ross roasts Tampa in March. The caustic comedian is a favorite on celebrity roasts, so much so that Charlie Sheen brought him along for his painfully unfunny tour so he could roast the winning actor on stage and hog all the laughs. Now he's bringing his Jeff Ross Roasts America tour to the Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa on March 1. Considering the good material we are handing him, no doubt Tampa will get ripped a new one and be glad of it. Tickets, on sale now, start at $27.50 at www.strazcenter.org. —Sharon Kennedy Wynne
